I'm Not Immune Songtext
von forgetters

If you could see for once one inch beyond
The nose that cuts the air before your face
You would not sing, my dear, with such a zest about
The wonders of this modern world

If there′s some place we could go
And use each other for a while
I've got so much to disclose
I′ve got five bucks, wait, no I don't

If you could see the strings as armies swing
Through the night, the pious pigs that rub the shoulders
Of the remote controllers, you would scream
And shrink upon the ledge before the brink
To see the hatred that drives this gilded age


I'm not immune to this
In fact I′m sick with the truth
It comes like knives flashing on the Senate floor
If all we have to give
Is our consent and will to live
We′ll get the country we deserve
We'll get the weekends to ourselves

And what passes for community
Is a backlit cult of idolatry
We love and hate the same five things
Is this the basis for a lasting friendship?
I think not

Don′t even try to grab this microphone from my hand
I've got a story that demands your undivided attention
I bear good news, we′re gonna die pretty soon
And then this inkless blood will be effaced

If there's some place we could go
And use each other in the dark
I′ve got so much to get off
I've got so much no one wants
I'm not afraid anymore
I killed that boy, took his hand
Into my name from the race
I wasn′t lame, I was estranged
